Ostraca is a must-read travel fiction, coming-of-age, literary fiction novel. While it’s a study of overcoming grief and personal growth, it also shares a poignant look at an era before technology exploded.

“Crossing Day” is a gripping thriller that paints a chillingly plausible picture of a modern South still shackled by its past. The narrative deftly explores the dynamics of power and prejudice, with the Confederacy’s alliance with Nazi Germany adding a dark twist to the tale. The author’s vivid world-building and the stark parallels drawn to our own society underscore the vigilance needed to protect democracy.

True to the spirit of escapism found in many great novels, ‘Murder at the College’ asks readers to indulge in a bit of disbelief suspension. The romance unfolds with haste, and coincidences abound, but isn’t that the joy of reading? To lose oneself in a story’s embrace?

I highly recommend “The Sapien Empire” to fans of intense, character-driven post-apocalyptic stories. Ogloff’s vivid world-building and compelling character arcs make for a thrilling read.

After reviewing Laury A. Egan’s previous book, I was pleased to be invited to review her newest release, Jack and I. While the story is sometimes a complex and heart-wrenching tale, it underscores the presence of good people willing to protect the innocent and the urgent need for reforms in the foster care system.
There are themes of physical, sexual, and mental child abuse, rape, grooming, and sexual content. While I would typically avoid a book with these themes, I am so glad I agreed to read Jack and I. Change can never be made, nor situations like Jack’s prevented, if we bury our heads in the sand. My heart goes out to young Jack, and I wish him all the best in the future.

E.G. Moore crafts a captivating story with well-developed characters, like Etoiny, whose kindness, inquisitiveness, and resilience stand out despite her background. Set in a world where science and magic coexist harmoniously, “The Last Dragonfly” has predominant themes of self-discovery, morality, and the importance of companionship and friendship.

Walter’s phantasmagorical tour-de-force is not only a satirical takedown of antisemitism (and bigotry in general) but also a dazzling celebration of human dignity, resilience, and humor.
